Full description
Was Bern once a Chocolate Capital? Meeting point is at the Kaefigturm (Prison Tower) on the Baerenplatz (Bear’s Square) and the end is around 2 hours later at the Baerenpark/Baerengraben (Bear Park/Pit). On the walk, you will learn about Bern’s exciting chocolate history by being guided through the old town to the places where the famous chocolate makers really left their traces. Various chocolate samples will sweeten your journey. You will also be introduced to the secret behind the melting chocolate, which was invented in Bern and became popular worldwide. However, since not only modern chocolate has its roots in Bern, but also the tour guide, he will certainly have more insider tips for you along the way. Although the walk takes place outdoors, it can also be completed in bad weather thanks to the protective arcades of Bern’s Old Town. But whether the Swiss Federal City really was a Chocolate Capital or whether this claim is just marketing is ultimately up to you to decide!
